+## [2.8.1] - 2026-04-26
+
+### Added
+
+- `SKI.extras.equiv(expr1, expr2, options: InferOptions?)` to check if two expressions are computationally equivalent.
+- `./bin/ski.js compare <expr1> <expr2>` command to compare two expressions for equivalence.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `Expr.infer()` keeps adding variables to nonterminating expressions
+to catch e.g. `CK(WWW)` (never terminates but eqivalent to I).
+
